Choose an actor or actress with a major role in a movie from one of the following five “Required Viewing” films from the genres of Epic Films, Science Fiction, Musicals, Comedies and Action/Adventure.
Spartacus (Epic)
Her (Science Fiction)
Show Boat (1936 version) (Musical)
The Grand Budapest Hotel (Comedy)
The Year of Living Dangerously (Action/Adventure)
Discuss the specific acting demands that the actor faces making a film of this genre.
Now choose a different actor or actress with a major role in a film from a different genre listed above. In what ways do the acting demands on these two actors differ? In what ways are they similar?
You must address material covered in the lectures and required reading material as well as your own observations to make your points. You may also cite material from recommended reading for extra credit, but you are not required to do so. Be specific and thorough in your observations, opinions and arguments. (Do not include long sections devoted to plot details in your paper. The Special Readers and the Instructor have seen these films – more than once! Instead, get directly to the specifics of your arguments.)
All papers must be submitted in MLA or Chicago Style format. Use a reasonably sized 12- point font, such as Times New Roman or Cambria. Your paper must be between five (5) and seven (7) pages in length. If you have a Works Cited, it will not count for or against the length of your paper. Properly site any and all sources. If you would like to cite from the e-book FLIXACTING, please cite the chapter and subheading from which the quote is found, rather than the page number.
